We wanted to share the statistics of how many visitors we had to the 40 Days of Prayer page from May 18 to June 25. 
 
An average of 550 people visited the first several days. The second week averaged 275. The third week averaged 175. The last two weeks averaged 100 visitors each day. 
 

Holy & Gracious God, 
 
Only through you will the world know a hope that changes everything.

Lord of all creation,
 
You hold all things in your hands. 
 

God of the future,
you who holds infinite possibilities,
who calls us out of complacency and into action,

 
Our God: the Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
 
We are in continual awe of the mystery of your unity.  While we constantly play with analogies to grasp how three can be one, and one can be three, you live in the glorious existence of unity.  To you, our Triune God, we pray for your guidance today.
 
Though we are many, you have called us to be your one body.  You have called us to be your very hands, feet, eyes, and ears for the world.  
 

Holy and Living God: 
 
You have called your people throughout the ages to be a city on a hill, a light unto the nations.  
 

 
God, you are the God who loves outrageously. 
 
We see in creation the mark of your extravagant love from the very beginning of time; we see in the history of your people a God who gives endlessly; in the person of Jesus we witness your passionate, self-giving love.  
 
Unite our hearts with yours, so that we may learn to live at peace and in love with our neighbors. 
 

Most Merciful God:
 

 
Almighty God - 
 
Thank you for all your many blessings.
